Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a VW Jetta Wolfsburg 2.0 t FSI engine.  it's running hot after a few miles.
I already replaced radiator, water pump and thermostat and do not see any improvement. I noticed my cooling  fans blown air to the outside of the radiator.
Which way the cooling blades should rotate?

the fan(s) should pull the cooler aire from the outside air over the radiator then the motor, not the other way around like you have. think about it, you are pulling 200 degrees from the motor over the radiator and of course it will over heat !
